72 240z dashboard

[JStray]

Just curious, what is a original 72 240z dash with NO cracks worth? I bought a clean '77 280 z with alot of spare parts, then 2 weeks later stumbled across a 240z that I may not beable to pass up(Probably going to be parts car based on floorpan rust thus far). I have always liked the bumpers on the 240z and will probably end up custom mounting these ones too my 280z. Not to ramble however I like what I have seen and read on your website and thought I may get some feedback.. Please.

Again what is that dash worth??? Jason- Washington

before you start parting out the '72 because of rusted floor pans, how bad are they and are the rockers and below the battery eaten up ? Floor pans can be fixed and it isn't that hard. Gary:classic:

I've seen them go for between $350.00 and $450.00 on eBay. I also have a '72 240Z dash that was "thrown in" along with numerous other Z parts when my son and I purchased a '71 240Z a few weeks ago.

You can have a cracked one completely restored by a company (who advertises on this website) for $525.00. The big difference is that the restored one probably won't crack for 40 years, while either of ours could crack tomorrow.

I agree with Beandip, restore the 240, you can buy a set of floorpans with frame rails for under $250.00. A reasonable body shop can cut out the old ones and weld in the new ones for under $1,000.00. Restored 240Zs are truly a classic car and a good investment, much more so than any 280!
